When we have to make a decision, we consider all the pros and cons, try to gather a lot of information and estimate what consequences this decision might have. And then we make an (at least somewhat) rational decision. Or do we?
Petter Johansson, a cognitive scientist at Lund University, presents results from experiments he conducted and suggests: More often than not, it is only after we have made our choices, that we come up with reasons for it.

Comment from our editors:

Very relevant evidence for the absence of rationality in decision making.

Max Krahé explains the role of economic planning for a green transition. 2022 Level: zaawansowane The Whole Field - Markets, planning, and coordinating the green transformation Max Krahé Phenomenal World In diesem Workshop zeigt Christian Proaño die Kritik an der Neuen Neoklassischen Synthese aus Sicht der Behavioral Macroeconomics. Für Fortgeschrittene gibt er einen Einblick in Behavioral Macroeconomics und zeigt Modelle mit heterogenen Erwartungen (De Grauwe 2012), den Aggregate Sentiments Approach (Franke 2012) sowie den Learning Aproach (nach Evans, Honkapohja 2001). Kritiker könnten der Behavioral Macroeconomics Forschung vorwerfen, dass sie im Grunde Neoklassische Konzepte repariert, das wissenschaftstheoretische Fundament aber nie verlässt und sich damit selbst begrenzt.

A dictionary unlike any other, it leads readers through Fleming’s stimulating exploration of fields as diverse as culture, history, science, art, logic, ethics, myth, economics, and anthropology, being made up of four hundred and four engaging essay-entries covering topics such as Boredom, Community, Debt, Growth, Harmless Lunatics, Land, Lean Thinking, Nanotechnology, Play, Religion, Spirit, Trust, and Utopia. The threads running through every entry are Fleming’s deft and original analysis of how our present market-based economy is destroying the very foundations—ecological, economic, and cultural— on which it depends, and his core focus: a compelling, grounded vision for a cohesive society that might weather the consequences 2020 Level: początkujący Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It the late Dr. David Fleming LeanLogic.online In this lecture Mirowski claims that a good critique of and alternative to neoclassical economics should focus on microeconomics. In addition, he claims that mainstream economics is not about a specific "human nature", instead the understanding of markets (partially based on Hayek) is of special importance. As an alternative Mirowski proposes institutionalist economics that builds upon how markets work nowadays (e.g. links to computer science). 2015 Level: ekspert Should Economists be Experts in Markets or in Human Nature?
